Another good episode with some nice moments. I feel like last week’s previews mislead us a bit, but oh well. > [@villa](#): > > Am I going crazy or did previous series use a 24 hour clock system? I was really surprised to see the time as 01:xx during the show. No, I’m pretty sure it was the same way last year. My response to Tony was “WHAT?!?” Didn’t remember the “rumors” 'til later. I noticed they tried to be realistic with a photo for once: when they blew up the picture of the guy Audrey recognized, it was pixellated. From what I could see on the map, I think Chicago will be okay. Wahoo. Things don’t look so good for the western part of IL and eastern part of Iowa, though. ---

So the big bad guy is Imhotep? That guy couldn’t even beat Brendan Fraser; Jack’ll snap him like a twig. And big thumbs up for Tony reappearing. ---

OK, I know who R Lee is, but explain the reference. I’ve only been watching for this season. Whiskey Tango Foxtro is Tony? ---

Thanks, MKL, I forgot to watch last week, and was looking for this thread for a link to find out what happened last week. Although, if someone wanted to sum it up briefly here, I wouldn’t mind. ---

> [@](#): > > I’ve only been watching for this season. Whiskey Tango Foxtro is Tony? Tony Almeida, who worked at CTU during seasons 1 - 3. At the end of the last season he was in Deep Doo-Doo for mucking up the works a little when the bad guys were giving him orders over the phone because they had his wife Michelle (also worked at CTU, seasons 2, 3) captive. Last we heard, Tony was maybe gonna get charged with treason. ---

Ahhh. Jack Bauer’s CTU backup. The Star Trek Red Shirts of the 24 universe. ---

Jack made a call, saying it was to the only person he could still trust. That said, 24 has now been relegated to a show I will work in front of, rather than a must watch. I can see reason for your knitting. ---

> [@Monstre](#): > > Last we heard, Tony was maybe gonna get charged with treason. Yes, for doing about 1/10 of what Jack Bauer gets away with each week! I like the love triangle that’s developing between Jack and that douchebag over the girl. Some unspoken lines: Mr Douchebag - “[some macho BS about his ex-wife]” Jack - “I’m Jack Bauer bitch…” Mr Douchebag “Your daughter is making a mistake…” Defense Secretary Heller “when YOU singlehandedly save us from twenty terrorists…then you are worthy of my daughter…” ---

I was really hoping that Jack would call Chloe in. Oh well. I could use a dose of female nerdy attractiveness right now. ---

> [@JThunder](#): > > I was really hoping that Jack would call Chloe in. Oh well. Yeah, but she wouldn’t have come in, guns a-blazing. But she might have attacked the terrorists with some passive-aggressive comments. 😉 Of course, when he said, “I’m calling the only person I trust…” – this could actually be a number of people (including Chloe). He could also have meant Kim, but she would have taken 8 hours and 3 mountain lions to get there. ---
